Consent Form

1. Consent to Participate in a Research Study

Parent Involvement in Youth Sports


You are being invited to take part in a research study about parental involvement in youth sports. If you take part in this study, you will be one of about 250 people to do so. The person in charge of this study is Madeline Barlow (PI) of the University of North Carolina Wilmington. UNCW student, Madeline Barlow, will be gathering and analyzing the information for the study. There may be other people on the research team assisting at different times during the study. None of the researchers participating in this study stand to gain financially or personally.

By doing this study we hope to gain knowledge about parent involvement and parental influence in youth sport programs. As a participant, you will be asked to take an online survey concerning your involvement in your child’s athletic experience. The research procedures will be conducted online through surveygizmo.com. The survey will take about 20 minutes.

To the best of our knowledge, the things you will be doing have no more risk of harm than you would experience in everyday life. You will not get any personal benefit from taking part in this study. If you decide to take part in the study, it should be because you really want to volunteer. There will be no penalty and you will not lose any benefits or rights you would normally have if you choose not to volunteer. No one on the research team will behave any differently toward you if you choose not to participate in the study. You can stop at any time during the study and still keep the benefits and rights you had before volunteering. There are no costs associated with taking part in this study. You will not receive any payment or reward for taking part in this study. Your information will be combined with information from other people taking part in the study. When we write up the study to share it with other researchers, we will write about the combined information. You will not be identified in any published or presented materials. This study is anonymous. That means that no one, not even members of the research team, will know that the information you gave came from you. If you decide to take part in the study you still have the right to decide at any time that you no longer want to continue. There will be no penalty and no loss of benefits or rights if you stop participating in the study. No one on the research team will behave any differently to you if you decide to stop participating in the study. Before you decide whether or not to participate in the study, please ask any questions that come to mind now. Later, if you have questions about the study, you can contact the investigator, Madeline Barlow (PI) at 267-994-6166. If you have any questions about your rights as a research participant, contact Dr. Candace Gauthier, Chair of the UNCW Institutional Review Board, at 910-962-3558. I am required by federal law to provide you with a copy of this informed consent form. You may request a copy of the project summary or final report.

I understand that my participation in this research study is entirely voluntary. I may refuse to participate without penalty or loss of benefits. I may also stop participating at any time without penalty or loss of benefits. I have received a copy of this consent form to take home with me. *This question is required.
